I only did a little playing with it but I enjoyed it a lot! I hope to explore it more someday, in my infinite free time. Have fun! :)

Narrat may do this already? Although last I checked it does require a bit of command line.
narrat.dev

I haven't used it but I've seen people use this, yeah.

Language study/translation exercises also work great. Too bad Wheelock's Latin is a chonker. :p I should find another copy of Lewis V. Thomas's Elementary Turkish - soothingly thinky, very slim Dover paperback. (I realize the text is DATED but for soothing travel distraction that's okitty.)

I've tried *writing* as a stress-relief activity while traveling and for some reason that backfires. :p

(Also I'm aware that 1.3 people care about more robust audio support in Inform 7 so this is likely not a great use of your time. I bet the interactive comic one would get mileage; the one I'm aware of is...specifically for Playdate console.)

(I would likely pay *toward* either of these although I do not think I can pay what you and the work is *worth* in dev rates. I am very sorry about that.)

I second interactive comic framework!
I think this is far outside your ask but the reason I switched out of Inform 7 into...Defold, Godot was lack of robust audio support for I7. I'd *rather* do parser IF but it didn't look like an option if I cared about composing/implememnting game music/audio.

The other things I like reading in "drama about something that's genuinely not important in the grand scheme of things" are flamewars about "is this REALLY blue or is it teal" (fountain pen ink) and generalized flamewars about The Best Filling System (fountain pens).

Thanks, but truly, I'm okitty. Today I wrote 900 words, debugged my Defold tutorial game, started Kernighan & Ritchie's book on C and did 3 coding exercises (I love it already!), made warping progress on my loom, had a loco moco and berries with whipped cream, listened to a Marina CD. I'm fine. :3

Also a real life, a drop spindle is a heck of a lot more portable.
I should stop cheating on my leatherworking and needle lace projects. :p

Yeah, this is me and leatherworking and bookbinding tbh. The aggravating amount of punching and/or setup, but with those, the *stitching* is so fun the setup is worth it! Will report back once I'm done warping and have to figure out how to use the shuttle lol. :)

What happens when someone either accidentally corrupts the database via firmware update or just actively hacks the database to get into XYZ concert tho...I guess we functionally already have that problem.

I have fond (?!) memories of the Cow Level in Diablo II. :)

Oh goodness, I thought it was some variant of cow tipping but with airplanes?! People shoving an airplane sideways and then fleeing?!

Uhhhh we sold out REALLY FAST. 191 tea pets, raising over $9000!
We MIGHT have some stragglers and will release a few more before May 3rd and word is that @leslielevings.bsky.social may offer some extremely limited custom slots (she does not do commissions! this is rare) in a bit.

People sometimes ask me why I non-respond or block aggressively and unfortunately this kind of incident is why. :] Seems to be sadly common.
